I take it that this is the problem. How would the friends see the printers? 
Through samba, possibly? In that case, you would need to configure samba to 
share the printers and allow them to be visible and usable to others.

And you are saying that these printers are not visible to cups????
Have you configured cups to use them? You can't use localhost:631 to configure 
them, as Ubuntu still hasn't figured out how to configure the cups interface 
to deal with the curveball of no root user.

You can, however, use the printer GUI that Ubuntu or KDE comes with. Check out 
System Settings/Printers, and set the administrator mode at the bottom of the 
interface (Its off my non-LCD screen at the bottom right).

If that does not answer, or partially answer your questions, then give us more 
detail about what you are doing.
